ABSTRACT:

Human sociopolitical, economic and environmental existences are fraught with numerous challenges. The orderliness which God imposed on creation from the beginning has been disrupted by gradual human actions, inactions and blunders. The confusion which is the outcome has generated tremendous tension across the globe that human social and environmental existence is at the brink of extinction. This situation calls for a re-birth, re-structuring and metanoic re-organization of the entire sociopolitical realm to reminisce their Divine prerogative and design. Great minds and sages over the years have proffered numerous theoretical and practical guides for the resolutions of recurrent existential problems, prominent among which are the leadership and followership or citizenship crisis. None of these solutions have satisfactorily met the criterion of refreshing intellectual enlightenment, practical utility, universal applicability and global acceptability, as the paradigm shift in thought and action introduced by Emmanuel Christus (our Lord Jesus Christ). It is the consideration of the revolutionary influence of this sage of sages that propelled us to this research on Emmanuel Christus: The Paradigmatic Sociopolitical Leader.
